2021 – Sleeping Village

Aesop Rock & Blockhead – Jazz Hands

The Village — Fri, 29 Sep 2023 17:00:30 +0000

This website posted a chart showing the rappers with the most extensive vocabulary, and Aesop Rock won by nearly a thousand words more than his nearest competitor (GZA).

But with that big vocabulary, sometimes Aesop’s verses sound like a cool word salad. I’m here for it, but it doesn’t always make sense.

Armand Hammer – Indian Summer

The Village — Mon, 25 Sep 2023 14:26:51 +0000

Billy Woods + Elucid + The Alchemist = Greatness.

Yoshi Vintage – VCR

Goddamn this goes hard.

Filth is Eternal – On the Rake

The Village — Thu, 18 May 2023 15:03:48 +0000

This rips.

Go get it.

I totally forgot I saw this band open for Botch back in February.

Bummer- JFK Speedwagon

Pissed noise rock.

Death Goals – Shrike

Sat, 04 Jun 2022 20:00:41 +0000

2 person hardcore chaos.

Sutekh Hexen – Skinwalker

Fri, 03 Jun 2022 19:40:01 +0000

Droning black metal noise.

I’ve been listening to this album a lot the last couple weeks.

Go get it.

Yashira – The Constant

Wed, 01 Sep 2021 14:14:40 +0000

For fans of metalcore from before that was a derogatory term. They also put out a split with Zao if you need a dated co-sign.

Go get this.

Woman is the Earth – Crystal Tomb

The Village — Tue, 31 Aug 2021 15:12:58 +0000

Growled metal with some non-glam glitter, atmospheric tendencies and a touch of melodic punk.

Go get it.
